[RFC PATCH v3 10/10] arch_topology: Start Energy Aware Scheduling

From: Quentin Perret
Date: Mon May 21 2018 - 09:31:30 EST


Energy Aware Scheduling starts when the scheduling domains are built if the
Energy Model is present and all conditions are met. However, in the typical
case of Arm/Arm64 systems, the Energy Model is provided after the scheduling
domains are first built at boot time, which results in EAS staying
disabled.

This commit fixes this issue by re-building the scheduling domain from the
arch topology driver, once CPUfreq is up and running and when the capacity
of the CPUs have been updated to their final value.
